DP P1-3 for all, Piastri P2-P8

oh i still have trident labeled as "Sunwest Trident Motorsport" in my game

[fallow breach]

[floral apex]

We have 2/3 trident f3 drivers and 1/2 trident f2 drivers

[fallow breach]

also i've been typing willmao for a while yet this time i still blindly thought it said "willonso"

[floral apex]

willonso

[fallow breach]

he doesn't even look like fernando

[floral apex]

will buxton alonso

[fallow breach]

DP has sprint pole, then Norris, Piastri, Bearman, Verstappen, Leclerc, Albon, Perez, Gasly and Ocon

[fallow breach]

Fernill Buxonso

[floral apex]

alonso is retired in both of our saves and still you were thinking of him

[fallow breach]

i have no clue how

[keen brook]

For me he's still driving a tractor of a Mercedes.

[fallow breach]

Btw dry every session in Miami

[floral apex]

9/24 races done and Abbi leads by 34 points

[keen brook]

Let Abbi cook!🔥

[fallow breach]

Last year DP started P11 due to a grid penalty for the sprint and came home to win. This time he starts on sprint pole, a pole he took by three seconds.

[floral apex]

Max is ahead of Piastri by 58

7 drivers are still yet to score: Hauger, Fournier, Lawson, Doohan, Pellegrini, Norris and Vesti

[fallow breach]

what would DP and Piastri be called as a duo?

[floral apex]

DPiastri

[keen brook]

For me Albon, Beganovic and Bottas are the only drivers without points.

[fallow breach]

DPiastri sounds strange

[keen brook]

Tbf Beganovic only had 1 weekend.

[floral apex]

i mean what are you expecting its kinda hard to combine 2 letters with a whole name

[keen brook]

Dastri

[floral apex]

Disastri

[floral apex]

That just sounds like a Russian name tbh

[fallow breach]

i guess you could combine their numbers

that gives rise to 181, 5481, 8154, among others

[floral apex]

at what point does it become a phone number

[keen brook]

[fallow breach]

[keen brook]

damn

[fallow breach]

54 x 81 = 4374

[keen brook]

At the end of the season we reach 1.903 as estimated pit stops time.

[floral apex]

remember when your team had faster pit stops than mine

and then suddenly we stole red bull's pit crew

[floral apex]

(i dont know if thats a real number)

[fallow breach]

imagine it is

[floral apex]

i wouldn't recommend testing it

[fallow breach]

omg "inert duo"?? they drive for xenon and xenon the element is inert

[floral apex]

hmm

[fallow breach]

that doesnt exactly sound right tho

[floral apex]

i dont think thats the right word either

[fallow breach]

maybe im barking up the right tree with a name related to the team in some way tho

i meant in a chemical sense

[floral apex]

"chemically inactive"

[fallow breach]

though that definition of inert perfectly describes dp73 doesnt it

[floral apex]

DP73 is the inert one

[fallow breach]

we need to find something different

we still haven't figured out any ideas as to what the xenon strategic approach should be

"idk just drive"?!

[floral apex]

piastri radio:
OP81: what strategy are we on?
XE: just drive
OP81: oookay?

for my team we have #1/#33 and #21

A chassis failed the inspection so Gabi will drive in Abu Dhabi with the old chassis.

[keen brook]

Now not only the components but also the car parts are not the best.

[fallow breach]

So they do have it in 32?

[floral apex]

yes

[fallow breach]

ok

anyway DP-NOR-PIA-BEA is the top 4 in quali again

i have a feeling this is gonna be a common theme

[floral apex]

only Jeddah and Qatar are pulled for 2032 reportedly due to "funding issues" cuz apparently they aren't funding the circuits

[floral apex]

xenon 1-3 all the way

[fallow breach]

the epitome of consistency, and dp has still only lost 7 points all season

i'm being dead serious about that stat

DP has 113 points out of a possible 120 at this point in the season

The 7? Giving up the victory of the Australian GP so Piastri could win at home.

oh and Piastri has 69 points now

[floral apex]

nice

21 race season for 2033 🔥

[fallow breach]

dp leads the championship by the equivalent of what a 1-2 grand prix finish with fastest lap would earn a constructor (44)

Here's a crazy stat: DP's championship lead isolated is enough to be P5 in the championship

Russell in P5 has 41

[floral apex]

wOw

i like how red bull esports has a wikipedia chart

[fallow breach]

Piastri has enough points to go ahead of mercedes in the constructors championship

No guarantee i get the Miami GP done tonight but i'll try

[floral apex]

try not to mess things up

dont break your front wing a million times

[fallow breach]

no promises

you're fucking kidding.

Oscar Piastri starts P12

hes got a penalty.

[floral apex]

oof grid penalty

[fallow breach]

oh well, time for DP to extend his championship lead once again

[floral apex]

lol

[fallow breach]

DP already leads by 3.3 seconds in two sectors of a lap

and albon in an aston martin is somehow ahead of bearman

yes Albon started p4 but still

oh yeah max also took a penalty he started p14

[floral apex]

how is hadjar managing this lmao

[keen brook]

Meanwhile Bottas collected 6 in the like last 5 races.

It would actually be hilarious if Zhou would be the next one to get a race ban.

Again RB would need a replacement, just for the other driver.

[fallow breach]

UM WHAT???

[floral apex]

hUh

[fallow breach]

I'm gonna see what the result WOULD be, but im probably gonna click restart then quit the game so it doesnt save

stemmed from me having to pit 2 laps in a row, push through the field.. but i got tipped into a half spin by checo

tbh thats not too bad of a result

Mclaren 1-2, yes

Lando then Ollie

But Piastri salvaged P3

Behind them it was Russell, Leclerc, Verstappen, Stroll, Perez, Ocon and Gasly.

It was Sainz who took me out

And no, of course he didn't get penalised

"Oh, finishing P12 is penalty enough" - the FIA, probably

but yk what, i'm keeping that result

theres gotta be a caveat to the dominance somewhere

[fallow breach]

Matter of fact, Sainz didn't even get warned! Gasly got warned for hitting Sainz (i believe that then caused Sainz to spin me and send me out of the gp)

DP still leads by 29 points anyway so its all good

[floral apex]

So it was a chain reaction crash

[fallow breach]

yeah, gasly hit sainz who hit me

[floral apex]

yeah thats acceptable to leave as is

its not a crash you caused

[fallow breach]

not exactly an ideal result

but

definitely not the worst that could have been

[floral apex]

[keen brook]

Abbi had an engine failure, taking her out of FP.

Then Hamilton locked up into Stroll, taking both out of the race and getting a 3 place grid penalty for Abu Dhabi.

Then Sargeant had a gearbox failure, taking him out of the race.

Then Bottas and Vesti came together, taking both out of the race and giving Bottas a 3 place grid penalty for Abu Dhabi.

Then Hülkenberg had a gearbox failure, taking him out of the race.

And then Gasly had a gearbox failure, taking him out of the race.

I like how in this one Gasly's voiceline says suspension, the subtitles engine, but in reality it was the gearbox.

[floral apex]

I think that was their way of saying "the entire car is fucked"

Gabi's win in Qatar

[floral apex]

i like how you make major highlight reels every race

its kinda what i do in my races but instead of video recordings its twitter posts

[keen brook]

Yeah, if I had a PS5 instead of a PS4, I could do them instantly.

As the PS5 allows to start Sharefactory to cut the clips whilst still letting F1 Manager open.

It's also a bit funny how that clip from Gabi's win also covered the last lap Russell Pérez crash.

[floral apex]

i still havent had a crash more insane than that time 7 cars all crashed at the same time in vegas

[floral apex]

stroll at monaco tv director came back

[keen brook]

https://tenor.com/view/lance-stroll-gif-21687097

Whilst rewatching that clip I just noticed, Russell locked up before hitting Pérez.

As there was smoke and the lock-up sound and as Russell got the penalty, he must've been the one who locked up.

No penalties on the grid to speak of.

DP's strategy is , Piastri's is probably the same.

Everyone starts on .. except Stroll. He starts on

The top 4 are as they started to finish lap 1. Bearman gets by Perez and gets to P5. Elsewhere, Leclerc has passed Hamilton for P9, Verstappen has passed Pourchaire for P14, and Magnussen goes up two spots ahead of Hulkenberg and Tsunoda into P16.

Bearman eventually passes Albon too on lap 2.

Verstappen is up to P13, and Magnussen is back down to P17.

DP pits and comes out P9.

Norris also pitted.

On the stint 2 outlap, DP gets past Pourchaire.

It's actually funny that for you Hadjar isn't on the grid at all whilst for me he's the highest rated driver.

[floral apex]

i mightve made my buyout fees a bit too high tbh

[fallow breach]

Piastri went onto hards and is sort of suffering for it. He's down to P4 behind Bearman

DP has had two brilliant races in china in a row

[fallow breach]

2026 he tried to give oscar the win until he had an engine failure, then went onto beat 7 time world champion lewis hamilton by 36 seconds

2027 he got spun after losing his wing with like 4 laps to go, red flag and on the restart he goes from p10 to the lead within a lap, and extends out to like 6 seconds over Verstappen in P2

"You got lucky"

pretty sure i joked once that if it was luck then we're the luckiest team ever to take on F1

Max is also carrying RBR of course

[fallow breach]

the way dp would have had an 11 race win streak going into miami (where he dnfed out of his control) if he'd kept the win in Australia

but no

he went and gave it to oscar

In 7 races, DP has both sprint wins, 4 GP wins, two second places and 6 FLs

R&D chart (and the order into Montreal)

What will the order be in Canada?

I'm calling it now, DP-NOR-PIA-BEA returns

obviously as the championship leaders we hope for a 1-2

but mclaren are so close to us they sometimes throw a spanner in the works

Dry quali, dry to wet GP in Canada.

Outside of China, every 1st, 2nd and 3rd has been distributed between Xenon and McLaren.

Which should not be surprising considering Xenon and McLaren have 487 points between them while the rest have 266.

bro.. every team except mclaren and xenon combined have still got less points than Xenon themselves

[floral apex]

talk about some co-dominance

[arctic flax]

hey have they updated the f24 handeling ?

[fallow breach]

in s3 if Piastri slightly faltered he had a chance to be as low as p8 sometimes even p10

in s4 he's nearly guaranteed at least p4 if he can make it across the line

china is an anomaly

[arctic flax]

i feel like im haaving to turn more

[fallow breach]

i feel like i turn too much

I especially felt that racing qatar s3

[fallow breach]

for sure

[fallow breach]

Any predictions for Canada - the next GP?

[floral apex]

DP P1, Oscar between P2 and P5

[fallow breach]

Who would beat Oscar other than DP and the McLarens for him to be P5?

WOW.

[fallow breach]

Provisional pole with 11 minutes to go belongs to Norris by 0.110 seconds (over DP obviously). Then Piastri is 3rd, then Bearman and Ocon.

i restarted the session but wow.

I restarted due to front wing damage (i meant to click return to garage)

[floral apex]

ocon?>!?

[fallow breach]

ik

its insane

the Alpine is the 4th fastest car tho tbf

[quaint hare]

What

[floral apex]

take the 0km one, its a free pass

[fallow breach]

unless its telling you not to drive

[quaint hare]

i took it

its coop btw

[floral apex]

I used to joke that the 0km one is implying you've been fired

[fallow breach]

On the retry it's a Xenon 1-2 with 7 minutes to go, then Norris, Bearman and Hamilton

OHHH

OCON GOES P4 AHEAD OF BEARMAN FOR NOW

Bearman responds by pipping Oscar to the front row, 6 minutes to go.

Russell also got by Ocon

The track is at a standstill but it's about to buzz up.

3 minutes to go, DP from Bearman, Piastri and Norris, with Russell best of the rest for now.

Norris can't find an improvement, Bearman can't find an improvement, DP isn't even on track - but Piastri does!

(im just taking a rough guess on the dates)

So it's DP, then Piastri, Bearman outqualifies Norris, then Russell, Ocon, Hamilton, Leclerc, Gasly and Albon. Perez is P11, Verstappen is P12, and Sainz is P14.

[fallow breach]

59 in 80 is impressive

Dry to wet race in Canada - who's winning?

[floral apex]

likely dp then oscar p2

[quaint hare]

alrighty it was a graphics error

but i drove 1 lap

[fallow breach]

We go racing in Montreal!

⅙ of the way through, DP from Piastri then Norris, Bearman, Russell, Hamilton, Ocon, Leclerc, Gasly and Perez.

Hauger retires on lap 6.

DP pits on lap 7 onto 8.

Norris, Hamilton, Leclerc and Verstappen pit too.

DP emerges P2, behind Piastri but in front of Bearman.

DP has a DRS issue. He has also received a 3 second time penalty for corner cutting.

On top of that, it's raining!

At the moment, DP leads by 7 seconds.

Piastri extended his soft stint to 12 laps and swapped onto inters. Bearman who started on hards also pitted for inters, along with Russell, Ocon, Albon, Sainz, Perez, Stroll, Magnussen, Hulkenberg, Fittipaldi, Tsunoda, Zhou and Pourchaire.

DP comes in the next lap for his second stop to switch for inters.

The 3 seconds is an additive penalty - it is not an in-race penalty, it will be added to the time at the end.

[fallow breach]

Gasly, Norris, Hamilton, Leclerc, Verstappen and Sargeant pit for inters on lap 13 along with DP.

[floral apex]

Sainz to merc lmao

[fallow breach]

But as Logan is in the pits, DP is speeding down the straight to end lap 13.

[fallow breach]

Which game is this on?

I still play 23

I've never seen it in myteam

[fallow breach]

Current order with everyone on inters, lap 14/18:
DP, Piastri, Bearman, Russell, Ocon, Albon, Gasly, Norris, Sainz and Perez. Verstappen is P17.

DP has a 3 second penalty hanging over him but he leads by 14 seconds so he's fine.

piaatri is holding on

[fallow breach]

piastri is starting to run away with p2

i broke the sponsor system

33000 day contracts woohoo

i added the new sponsor (bottom right) on the day the top 2 existing contracts expired

bc we reached acclaim level 35

[floral apex]

your team is so well-acclaimed the sponsors just want to stay with you forever

[fallow breach]

look at their goals tho

thats easy cash

as if we need it tho

we're maxed out everything in every department facility + i have maxed out perks + we have 103 mil in the bank

[floral apex]

your car could literally look like the 2018 mclaren and still be profitable

[fallow breach]

10 and 15 constructor points per weekend are the goals

time for the 2027 spanish gp

[fallow breach]

10 constructor points, 15 constructor points, p4 in quali and pole+victory are all the sponsor goals

perpetual binding of mid sponsors to the best team

[red wadi]

Romeo been cooking lately

[fallow breach]

DP could become an 8 time champion by the end of the career mode

all he has to do is win every championship from now until s10

[floral apex]

Pellegrini reference spotted in today's NYT connections

[red wadi]

[fallow breach]

i haven't played connections in AGES

f1 reference in general (pit)

[fallow breach]

Do you think it's gonna happen? If not, how many titles do you think he'll win? (Including the 1 he already has)

10 minutes to go in Spain quali, DP leads from Norris, Piastri and Verstappen. Bearman is P13.

[keen brook]

2026 results

[fallow breach]

Norris and Piastri run a second lap each, neither can get past DP or each other. Norris is 0.308 behind DP, and Piastri is 0.836.

For the first time all season, there will be a McLaren qualifying outside the top 4, as Oliver Bearman starts P13 for the Spanish Grand Prix!

This is a massive opportunity for the midpack as P4 could potentially be up for grabs!

Verstappen takes P4 in quali. Top 3 stay as they were going onto the final runs.

[floral apex]

the championship was never in doubt

[fallow breach]

?

[floral apex]

maybe not 8 unless he just verstappens his way through the rest of his career

[fallow breach]

he's on good course to get at least 2

(2026, already won, and 2027)

[floral apex]

imagine if after winning his 2 titles he just gets oscar some titles

[fallow breach]

i might see how a season looks just simmed every race

not this season maybe one of the future ones

[floral apex]

like the original method lmao

[fallow breach]

[floral apex]

before you started doing every race

[fallow breach]

if the sims were to go anything like monaco 2027 i have a good feeling

speaking of sim, should i sim spain 2027?

or should i race it?

[floral apex]

if you want to experiment with the sim every race thing early then go ahead

[fallow breach]

i think i'm gonna use simming for the races i dont have a good feeling about

like i did for monaco

[floral apex]

the races you are crash prone at

[fallow breach]

i was fully expecting like a 4-7 or something

at monaco

dont ask who would pass

I have no clue

But a 1-2 was a pleasant shock

I might use quali to gauge whether i might have a good time in the gp as to whether to sim

[floral apex]

ja

[fallow breach]

we'll see how i feel about simmimg as we go along

oh hey, the "finish miles ahead of oscar" message from marc is back

Hamilton takes a 10 place penalty and starts P15.

[floral apex]

i just noticed how a bunch of junior drivers in my save didnt really get a seat
even those drivers that i didn't sign, they just never got an f1 chance

but ofc i kinda contributed to this

[fallow breach]

"Race on in Barcelona, DP comes to cover off Norris, Piastri gets the lead, and DP switches sides on the approach to turn 1, but he oversteers and the Xenons collide! Only minor contact, but it's enough to send George Russell into the lead of the Spanish Grand Prix from 5th! Chaos at the race start, it's Russell, DP, Piastri, Norris, then Leclerc gets up to P5, Ocon is 6th, Verstappen is 7th, then Albon, Sainz and Stroll round out the top 10! Perez is 11th, but look at 12th! Logan Sargeant for Williams moves up four spots off the race start! Hamilton is 13th, Bearman down to 14th, Pourchaire from 18th comes up to 15th, Tsunoda is 16th, then Gasly, Hulkenberg, Zhou, Magnussen, Hauger and Fittipaldi!"

[keen brook]

Alonso, Hülkenberg, Maini, Hauger, Verschoor and Villagómez retired.

Dubois, Bustamante, Inthraphuvasak and Hamilton are now free agents.

Norris still is a free agent.

Maloney finally returns to the grid after being in my team in 2024.

[floral apex]

verstappen is back but norris is still missing in action

[keen brook]

And the 2 Haas legends from 2025 are back!

[floral apex]

norris is probably enjoying life in WEC

[keen brook]

as affiliates

[floral apex]

pov: antonelli in my save

[keen brook]

I didn't renew Barnard's contract and he was really done dirty.

[floral apex]

wait who where the 25 haas drivers again i forgot

[keen brook]

No one else signed him and as the 2nd in the F2 championship he got sent back to F3.

[keen brook]

Wenzel and Gallardo

Wenzel is now a Kick Sauber affiliate and Gallardo a Williams affiliate.

[floral apex]

i mean at least theyre still in the sport

[keen brook]

They were both free agents in 2026.

[fallow breach]

bet you didnt have russell leading on the cards

[keen brook]

Also the 2025 F2 champion Aron is still in F2.

Oliver as the reigning F2 champion also stayed in F2.

So there are now 2 F2 champions in F2.

[floral apex]

max will have been at my team for 8 years by the time he retires lmao

[fallow breach]

Starting lap 6 it's DP who's just got the lead back from Russell, then Norris is P3, Piastri is 4th, then Leclerc, Verstappen, Albon, Ocon, Sainz and Stroll. Hamilton is P12 and Bearman is P13.

[keen brook]

Also something interesting I noticed, Sainz has now the 62.

[floral apex]

you got the weird driver numbers too?!?

[keen brook]

Verstappen has the 33 though.

[floral apex]

thats normal

[fallow breach]

Piastri has regained P3 on lap 7.

[keen brook]

Maloney is also back with the 84 again.

Lawson also entered with the 40 like he normally does.

[fallow breach]

Piastri and Pourchaire pit on lap 7 into 8.

[keen brook]

Just for Sainz the number is messed up.

[fallow breach]

DP pits on lap 8 onto 9.

[floral apex]

odd

[fallow breach]

Norris, Leclerc, Verstappen, Ocon, Stroll, Hamilton, Hulkenberg and Sargeant do as well.

[floral apex]

for me i had a bunch of drivers leave and then return 1 season later and their numbers were completely off

i got lucky to have found the modding thing

[fallow breach]

DP emerges in P7.

[floral apex]

like alonso had 10, gasly was in the 50s

[keen brook]

For me it's only Sainz though.

Every driver who returned during this save went back to his original number.

With Maloney even a F2 driver who doesn't even have an own number.

[fallow breach]

Gasly breaks DP's wing, causing Russell to overtake DP on the next lap after DP ran wide! Lap 12 of 17 and DP's chances of victory are fading quickly.

George Russell is ready to be the benefactor yet again. (ignore how real world 2024 didn't happen in my save)

[floral apex]

dp dont bottle it

[fallow breach]

DP is 10 seconds behind Russell, onto lap 14, and 6 seconds ahead of Albon who's somehow gotten up into P3 from 10th on the grid.

Currently it's Russell, DP, Albon, Piastri, then Verstappen, Norris, Leclerc, Sainz, Bearman and Hamilton.

[fallow breach]

"It has been an incredible race here in Barcelona, and we will have a 4th unique race winner of the season, as the Mercedes has absolutely come alive this afternoon, and from 5th on the grid, George Russell wins the Spanish Grand Prix!"

DP claims second place over Alex Albon for Aston Martin.

Piastri is P4, then Verstappen, Bearman, Leclerc, Sainz, Norris and Perez.

[floral apex]

Heh

[fallow breach]

bro these sponsors are gonna expire in the year 2118

Romeo Pellegrini buys 1.5 million stake in Ligier

[floral apex]

oh my

he bought sauber?!?!?!? /j

[red wadi]

[fallow breach]

yeah but where is this Ligier place and why is stake so cheap

[noble apex]

[red wadi]

This means something big bc Ligier either builds a random ahh GT3, LMP2 cars or a 45 km/h car

[fallow breach]

max?

[red wadi]

Because Ligier isn’t worth a lot and it’s just a minor stake bc bro doesn’t want to own the company

[floral apex]

I lile how they can build speeds

[red wadi]

Oh whoops

[floral apex]

You can't go 45 km/h cuz thats trademarked by Ligier

Bro is obsessed with French cars

• is Slovakian
• lives on Curaçao
• mostly drives French cars
• made his debut in F1 for an American team
• was most successful in an Austrian car

[floral apex]

• also drove for a german and italian team

[red wadi]

[red wadi]

Oh yeah

[floral apex]

[fallow breach]

Onto Austria. The third sprint of the year.

[red wadi]

Yeah bro is mr. worldwide

[fallow breach]

Any predictions for any or all sessions, about any team?

[floral apex]

sauber goes lower than p10

[red wadi]

Also bro single-handedly overtaking a Alpine Hypercar (which is he the test driver of) in a LMP2 will never not be funny

Only reason bro overtook it was bc it was stuck in traffic but hey it was for on track position (bro was fighting with that Alpine for 2 hours)

[floral apex]

also xenon 1-3 in all sessions

[red wadi]

My guy finished 14th in a event that had 16 Hypercars, crazy work

[floral apex]

bro already knew the performance of that car

[fallow breach]

Dry SQ and S, wet Q, dry GP

[red wadi]

Bro decided to NOT race for Alpine bc he knew it was trash (he dominated the LMP2 field)

[fallow breach]

alr

[floral apex]

i nean pelley does know a lot about dominance

[red wadi]

True but no one expected him to finish 1 minute ahead of the rest of the LMP2 field

[floral apex]

pelley is the type of guy to enter a soccer match and drop 6 goals... in the first half

[red wadi]

Fr, after this performance no one is save😭🙏

[fallow breach]

Austria. A very strong track for DP.

[red wadi]

Brazilian F3 fans flexing the fact that they saw Romeo finish P27 thrice (their favourite racing series went defunct a few years later)

[floral apex]

The brazilians to the slovakians: we were there when your national hero was a national embarrassment

[red wadi]

They be putting it in their faces (Romeo decided to respawn from his retirement and dominate the Brazilian Stock Car just because some Brazilian reminded him of that one time)

And no he’s not actually doing that, bro is enjoying retirement (for now)

[fallow breach]

And so it would seem. Xenon. Front. Row. Lockout.

[floral apex]

[fallow breach]

For the sprint, DP on pole then Piastri, Norris, Bearman, Russell, Sainz, Leclerc, Hamilton, Stroll and Verstappen.

[floral apex]

bro would rather spend time with his kids (like previously established)

[fallow breach]

Time for the sprint.

[red wadi]

Bro gonna enter a Mario Kart tournament next or smth 🙏

[floral apex]

if jarno opmeer was somehow still racing in Nashville's time, imagine him being beaten by a 7 year old

[keen brook]

OK, so our car seems to be good.

[floral apex]

pretty sure they all race on LAN in the same buildimg tho lmao so that would be hilarious

[keen brook]

It hates dirty air.

[red wadi]

They be working their asses off for a seat and some random 7yo who swapped in for his das still claps everyone (Nashville got his dad’s genes)

[keen brook]

low speed and tires

But the rest we are all 1st.

[red wadi]

That would be crazy, imagine a 7yo walking onto the podium🙏😭

[floral apex]

the car when it enters dirty air: ew gross

[red wadi]

Bro didn’t even witness his dad’s first few titles

[keen brook]

Dirty air tolerance is 11th, low speed cornering 7th and tire preservation 5th.

[fallow breach]

getting helped up onto the podium by romeo like

"Ohhh thats how this 7 year old is so good"

[red wadi]

“No wonder some random kid named after a American city is so good”

Bro’s life getting carried by his middle name😭🙏

[fallow breach]

He's a Pellegrini, that explains it all!

[floral apex]

imagine winning a race just to be called "a kid named after an american city"

[red wadi]

Imagine Nashville being naughty though

“NASHVILLE TYLER PELLEGRINI COME HERE!”

[floral apex]

insert angry slovakian noises

[red wadi]

Yes!

"yo whats this kid doing here"

dont let the finances go down the ditch this time

[fallow breach]

[keen brook]

Well, I don't have Pellegrini in the team.

[floral apex]

we already have more than enough twingos stuck down here we'd prefer it if your bank account wasn't down here either

[red wadi]

The Twingo should return

[fallow breach]

anyone want a loan? xenon have like 120 mil not being used

[red wadi]

Like bro just puts it in his living room or smth

[floral apex]

the twingo is his home entertainment system

Make it a mini museum

One attraction: the twingo. Forget the 8 championship trophies, theyre there as a border to encase the twingo

[red wadi]

Romeo Pellegrini rebuys Twingo
Sadly not to main it again, it’ll be decoration for his mansion. Atleast the Twingo is back though

[red wadi]

[floral apex]

he takes out all of the car stuff from the twingo and converts it into his home entertainment system

[fallow breach]

theyre pillars to hold lights that'll spotlight the twingo!

[fallow breach]

thats what the championship trophies are!

[red wadi]

[floral apex]

Actually why would that work so well

[keen brook]

Carlo Cristofori's and Abbi's ratings went up.

[floral apex]

hes got a sim rig replacing the drivers side of the Twingo

the f1 seat, steerimg wheel and everything

[red wadi]

And then trolls people with it during like Virtual races

“Yo bro I can’t rn, i’m driving in my Twingo”

I can see Romeo talking like a Gen Z kid ngl

So I gave Kimi only a 1 year affiliate contract.

For now my plan is to replace him.

[floral apex]

imagime pelley's in a team redline-type stream and in hos background is just the interior of a twingo

That would be so funny

Just has the 8 titles chilling on the rear seats

Max Verstappen x Romeo Pellegrini would go hard ngl

[fallow breach]

DP wins the sprint in Austria from Norris and Piastri. Bearman P4, then Russell, Sainz, Leclerc and Hamilton.

[floral apex]

man we're absolutely cooking with our pit stops here

also thats abbi's second 1.8 stop

max went 1.92 on his first stop and then 1.88 here

order after 40 laps of racing

pelley is really trying his hardest here to gain

[red wadi]

[floral apex]

seems like he'll only manage P14 by the end of the race however

P13 if hes lucky

[red wadi]

My body feels like it’s falling apart, I feel like one more lore update

[floral apex]

i was so focused on pellegrini i didnt even notice we somehow gained 10 seconds on piastri

[red wadi]

[floral apex]

and pellegrini can only manage P15

Dennis Hauger scores his first point of the season

another double 1.8 for abbi

Saudi Arabian GP organisers' plea to return to F1 calendar in 2028 declined

[red wadi]

(It’s just a sub-plot i’m cooking)

[fallow breach]

The reasoning behind it is political so i don't think i'll divulge too much

[floral apex]

breaking: pellegrini builds a gokart track in perth

[red wadi]

We’ll see

Bro might just be on vacation

Who knows

Also bro’s total earnings are currently on 1.8 billion euros

Bro is crazy rich

[fallow breach]

Heading into Silverstone, VCARB are apparently top of 'Formula B' on R&D, ahead of Red Bull.

[floral apex]

bro could build a gokart track in slovakia and curacao and still have money left over for 250 twingos

[red wadi]

[fallow breach]

McLaren have drawn exactly level with Xenon.

[floral apex]

bruh

[fallow breach]

the sponsor contracts with Asiatic and Vacanziero are at 33472 days remaining

[floral apex]

Also fun fact we still havent changed out our ERS component yet

[fallow breach]

Xenon have just made their first part change of the season - the gearbox.

[floral apex]

bro what are these names lmao

COU POU FOU DOO

[fallow breach]

that s4 trophy cabinet is insane

[floral apex]

damn nice red trophy you got from miami

[fallow breach]

coupul pou fou doo

[floral apex]

didnt know they made those

[fallow breach]

ik pulling is fulltime

[fallow breach]

obviously thats the dnf

[floral apex]

It really sticks out tho

[fallow breach]

the only non podium

[floral apex]

like whyd they have to make it so red

and not an empty slot or something

[red wadi]

Romeo had 3 dnfs in his career, all by engine failure 🔥🔥

[floral apex]

oh also just down the order we got DIA and PIA

[fallow breach]

dia pia

[red wadi]

dia pia pou fou

[fallow breach]

damn the spanish love Piastri they got a whole day dedicated to him

[floral apex]

my dumbass forgot to set the setup

[fallow breach]

should i sim or race silverstone?

[floral apex]

Are you good at silverstone

[fallow breach]

8th s1, 9th s2, 1st s3

[floral apex]

You could definitely do it yeah

[fallow breach]

alr

[floral apex]

Make sure to return to the garage with the same number of wheels as you left it in

[fallow breach]

any predictions

[fallow breach]

...maybe?

pro move, i'll just leave with 3 wheels

[floral apex]

xenon 1-3

[fallow breach]

thats your go to

it makes sense tho

seeing mclaren are so close in performance

[red wadi]

Xenon 1-4

[floral apex]

saying 1-2 is too risky tho cuz piastri could just easily not finish P2

[fallow breach]

and look at spain
theres the off chance dp doesnt finish p1

[floral apex]

fuck it, at least P5 for both drivers

FP1 order

[fallow breach]

who would you vote most likely to beat xenon (that isnt in a McLaren)

i'd say russell, he's been on good form, and has the only non-mclaren non-xenon win

[floral apex]

i still have no idea what this guy is working on and why he keeps getting interrupted by the other mechanics

[red wadi]

I’m feeling better again, and with that my sleep schedule is down the drain again

[floral apex]

you mean down the ditch

[red wadi]

“I’m in a bit of ditch here” - me like 6 months ago

[floral apex]

- pellegrini every time he takes a corner too fast

[red wadi]

Shit I completely forgot the lore of what happened to his F100

[floral apex]

the ferrari?

[red wadi]

Oh well that joins the WWE part in the flashback section of the lore

[red wadi]

Yeah

[floral apex]

didnt ferrari repo it after they fell out

[red wadi]

Eh I had something else cooked but this is more realistic so i’ll roll with it

[fallow breach]

DP has pole for the British GP from Norris, Piastri and Bearman. Russell and Hamilton are 5-6, then Verstappen, Leclerc, Gasly and Ocon. The VCARBs, apparently the third best car, are 14-15

[red wadi]

My dog is giving me heart attacks man

[floral apex]

yay xenon 1-3

[fallow breach]

to be fair though do you expect any higher than p14 from theo fucking pourchaire?

[floral apex]

no

[fallow breach]

and hulkenberg's getting a little old by 2027 too

[floral apex]

"Do you expect anything higher than p14 for pourchaire"
glances at my screen
pourchaire is P11

[red wadi]

Romeo Pellegrini congratulates friend Jüri Vips on 1st world title

[fallow breach]

obviously hamilton's the oldest on the grid at 41

[floral apex]

🔥 yooooo

[fallow breach]

Hell yeah vips champion

[floral apex]

from one world champ to another

[red wadi]

And with that 2032 is officially over (except for the Perth lore)

Vips actually had a title battle, but more lore on that soon

Time for the Jüri era of F1🔥🔥

[floral apex]

Wait you had pelley retire before the 10 year mark right

[red wadi]

Yes

[floral apex]

Did you hit the retire driver button

[fallow breach]

13 laps around Silverstone. Will it be a Xenon or McLaren in P1? Or will there be another shock like Spain?

[red wadi]

Idk tbh, I closed the game before starting S10 and haven’t opened F1 23 since

[floral apex]

i remember there was a retire driver button somewhere

[red wadi]

Might be, i’ll check tomorrow

[floral apex]

order after FP2

[red wadi]

Anyways, should I make Vips a somewhat dominant driver (too old to equalise Romeo’s 8th titles) or make it a mixed bag of champions?

[keen brook]

I think I've cooked.

[red wadi]

Or should I just make it so Romeo loses all contact with F1 besides for Vips for awhile?

[floral apex]

Make it a variety of different champions

F1 finally becomes exciting again after Pellegrini's retirement

[red wadi]

Alright

[red wadi]

Oh yeah I like that

[keen brook]

This is the BO38 4.4.

[floral apex]

oh my god

[red wadi]

Vips joins IMSA or something and I swap to Vips’ perspective for racing updates for awhile (after 2033)👀

[floral apex]

That looks so good

[keen brook]

very orange with a golden touch

[floral apex]

Welcome back Renault

[keen brook]

and a bit of black

[red wadi]

W or L idea?

[keen brook]

this time NOT carbon fiber

and actual black paint

[floral apex]

Hmm can you handle it

[floral apex]

ok it kinda looks like a mclaren dipped in sand but it looks good

[keen brook]

This are the new overalls.

[red wadi]

If I do 1/2 races a week, I probably can. Or 3 smaller length races instead of 2h races

[keen brook]

the classic sponsor billboard

[floral apex]

why red there
Makes them look like some supervillain agency or something

[keen brook]

this time in red

[red wadi]

It’s only so I can keep pushing out race updates, since Romeo won’t return to racing for awhile

[keen brook]

Well, at least somewhere there needed to be Ollie's Ferrari origins.

[red wadi]

Sim testing for Alpine doesn’t count

[keen brook]

But with this one the focus was very much on Gabi's McLaren origins and gold.

[red wadi]

Alright imma think about it and sleep

[keen brook]

And just because I love it, all in mat.

[floral apex]

We have gold as our third color but the only place it appears is some small strips on the race suir

[red wadi]

Bye for now and see you guys tomorrow!

[floral apex]

Dont fall in a ditch tonight

[keen brook]

And also the logo got a little golden touch.

[red wadi]

I won’t

[floral apex]

lol gn

order after FP3

[red wadi]

gn

[floral apex]

i wonder if pelley will for once make it to Q3 in austria

jesus christ 1:01

[keen brook]

new 3 year contract for Tim

[floral apex]

Eliminated in Q1: Fournier, Gasly, Doohan, Russell, Vesti and Bearman

[keen brook]

Lol, Tim is still complaining about getting replaced.

[floral apex]

Hes being replaced by himself

[keen brook]

Just because for next season Kimi is in the 2nd slot where Tim is now and next season he moves to the end of the affiliate list.

[floral apex]

Leclerc knocks Pellegrini out of Q2!

Eliminated in Q2: Pellegrini, Norris, Albon, lawson, Stroll and Hauger

Top 10 after Qualifying: Verstappen, Pulling, Piastri, Leclerc, Sasaki, Iwasa, Pourchaire, Tsunoda, Ocon and Sainz

fully wet race here in austria

order after 12 laps

order after 24 laps

[keen brook]

I just see something interesting.

Wheatley's contract expires.

I took a look into the sporting director's and there's another one who's also 96 rated but 4 years younger than Wheatley.

He still has a 3 year contract with Mercedes, but without buyout fee.

[floral apex]

Pellegrini's up to P8!
Can the Slovakian finally score points?!?

Order after 48 laps (i forgot 36)

order after 63 laps

]

final race order

even more pit stop points for us

new reg vote

[floral apex]

lmaoo the 1-3 🔥

[fallow breach]

the 1-3 goes hard

DP-NOR-PIA-BEA strikes back
